Aged care ignored in the federal election campaign

National Seniors Australia is disappointed that neither of the two major political parties have committed extra funding to fix Australia’s aged care.

They say there is a dire need to triple the number of high-level aged care packages for vulnerable older Australians.

National Seniors Chief Advocate Ian Henschke spoke to Oliver Peterson today to explain that older Australian’s can’t afford to wait for the Royal Commission’s recommendations and there needs to be a commitment now.
